Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017) hands-on

Rumors about Samsung Galaxy are going wild all the time and people tend to be a bit too critical. But there are some devices which deserve some love for their simplicity.

We are talking about the new A-series that were silently launched in the beginning of January. Galaxy A3 (2017), Galaxy A5 (2017) and Galaxy A7 (2017) didn’t receive quite the attention they actually deserve but we guess it would take some time until Samsung’s first rate marketing engine kicks into a higher gear. And that won’t happen on all markets as the new A-series is not available everywhere on the same terms i.e. the A7 (2017) will not appear in Europe.

We got our hands on Galaxy A5 (2017) and before jumping in our labs to perform our usual tests, we decided to share our first impressions.
